StandardDetailedBy ChemistryMineral Photos (183)Site Photos (6)Search Google

Uchucchacua mine is very close to the Raura mine in Cajatambo province, leading to label confusion.

Complex vein mineralization related to a dacitic intrusion cutting through Cretaceous and Tertiary formations on West side of Occidental Cordillera of Central Andes.
